Notes
Originally built by the Tourism Department higher up the slope, it has twice been blown down by avalanche wind & twice rebuilt, a little lower each time by Mt Earnslaw Station. Each time it was rebuilt it included bits from the original hut & this remains the case in the current Earnslaw Hut. Garth & Kath Varcoe & family did the hut up in the late 1980's. Edit Hut
